The client needed a robust video management system (VMS) application to support real-time security monitoring and playback of surveillance footage from various locations—on-site, centralized, and mobile. The system architecture consisted of a C#-based graphical user interface (GUI) and a C/C++ multimedia backend, with a clear separation between the two components.
To support maintainability and catch issues early in the development cycle, the client required a reliable testing strategy for the backend. Rather than traditional unit tests—which were not suitable for this phase—we proposed and implemented a suite of functional automated tests using the backend’s JSON API. These tests were designed to integrate with the client’s CI/CD pipeline, enabling early detection of bugs and improving development efficiency.

Proposed solutions
Smarter testing, stronger systems
Ensuring reliability through automated functional testing
We established a streamlined development workflow focused on quality and reliability. As part of the solution, we integrated automated functional testing into the continuous integration process. This ensured consistent validation of the multimedia backend and enabled the generation of clear, comprehensive reports. These reports made it easy for the client to track progress, identify issues early, and maintain confidence in the stability of the system throughout development.
